The 848's first track outing

[tufty]

TGPR last Saturday....

A very stable bike in a turn, although it does take a firm hand to get it started turning. It was geared way too high for a short twisty track, but should be just right for Road Atlanta in a couple of weeks. It has more than enough power for my sad skills.

I'm not sure about the Pirellis, they are fast to heat up but they are definitely a little squirrely off the race line on cold track. One nice thing though is they spin up in a nice almost casual way-very predictable. I think I prefer the turn in characteristics of Michelins better though.

Anyways here is a pic.....

Nice! Wish my track bike had your 848's power - but there's still plenty of corner speed available for me to add, before I worry about more power. I've been using Bridgestone 002's - like them better than the Pilot Powers I had been using. Have fun at Road Atlanta!

Nice. I saw a 848 beauty a few weeks ago on my track day. Yum.
